Problems solved by technology

However, the manufacturing process of the heterojunction field effect transistor using the stacked field plate structure is relatively complicated. Each additional layer of field plate requires additional process steps such as photolithography, metal deposition, insulating dielectric material deposition, stripping, and cleaning. To make the insulating dielectric material deposited under the field plates of each layer have an appropriate thickness, cumbersome process debugging must be carried out, which greatly increases the difficulty of device manufacturing and reduces the yield of devices.
Another issue worthy of people's attention is that all heterojunction field effect transistors with a gate field plate structure will generate additional capacitance between the gate field plate and the two-dimensional electron gas channel, which will be superimposed into the gate of the device In the feedback capacitance between the drain and the drain, the feedback capacitance of the device increases, resulting in a certain attenuation of the power characteristics and frequency characteristics of the device
In addition, the increase of the feedback capacitance of the device will weaken the isolation between the input and output of the device and reduce the stability of the device
